History
A ''Public Security Bureau Public School'' was first established in 1949. In 1966, it was closed along with many other educational institutions during the
Cultural Revolution. In 1981, the school was reopened as the ''Beijing People's Police School (BPPS)''. Three years later, in 1984, the institution started to offer
bachelor's degrees, and then became the Beijing People's Police College (BJPC).
Since 1984, and as of 2003, the institution has graduated approximately 40,000 people in police training programs, and 83,000 people with law enforcement degrees. In 2003, 7,411 people were registered as undergraduates, including 1,200 training for police certification, 794 receiving continuing police education, and 5,417 government employees were registered in certification programs (1,799) or bachelor's degree programs (3,618) in law enforcement.
As of 2023, the BJPC has held training programs for police officers from at least 20 other countries.
